Verdict
Joe Fisherman Inn is a small budget inn in Teluk Nipah, the strip of chalets and small hotels on Pangkor’s west coast. The beach is about 150 m away, a three-minute walk.
It has an outdoor pool and a children’s pool; one reviewer called the pool good for small children. Buffet breakfast costs about RM10 per adult. Guests score it about 8 out of 10 on both Booking.com and Trip.com, and Trip.com reviews from January to May 2026 praise the friendly, helpful staff.
The catch is the building. The rooms are wooden and worn: Trip.com reviews in 2025 and 2026 mention an old toilet, gaps between the wall planks, a leaking sink, and a drain smell. One January 2026 reviewer flagged the padlock-style locks on the room doors as a safety worry. The inn’s own website no longer works, and reviewers say it is far from Pangkor town, so a hired bike or car helps.
Good for
Families and budget travellers who want a pool and Teluk Nipah beach on foot without paying resort prices.
Not for
Anyone who wants a modern, well-kept room, or who is uneasy about padlock-style door locks and wooden walls with gaps.
